I've attempted several roasted pork recipes but do not have the chance to document any of them in my blog till now! I was attracted to this recipe 'cos of its heading 'Easy Roast Pork' hahaha...If you homemade roasted pork before, you should know that it usually splatter a lot and really makes the oven smell after the roasting process. I like this recipe as the whole roasting process (except the crackling part) is covered with a foil which reduce the splattering of oil and smell. Taste wise, the meat is moist and juicy, but the flavour can still be further improved!
Before and after 2 hours in oven
Ingredient
- 400gm pork belly
- 1 whole garlic, slice 1/4 off the top
- 120ml rice wine
- 120ml milk
- 3 tsp sea salt & black pepper mix
- 1 tsp five spice powder
Method
- Dab the pork belly with kitchen paper as dry as possible. Place in a dish, uncovered, chill overnight.
- Remove pork belly from fridge. Dab the skin again with kitchen paper again. Score the skin with a sharp knife about 1 cm apart. Rub salt & pepper mix all over the skin. Rub the five spice powder all over the bottom of the pork belly.
- Preheat oven to 130 deg cel.
- Place the garlic in a baking dish and pour in the milk and wine.
- Place the pork belly, skin side facing up, on top of the garlic.
- Cover the baking dish with a piece of foil, make sure that it does not touch the skin. Bake for 2 hours.
- Remove foil. Increase oven heat to 240 deg cel. Using top heat only, bake for another 10-15 mins until the skin develops a nice crackling and nicely brown.
- Rest the meat and cool completely before cutting
